Our Mission To broaden the base of state residents who help Eastern Bluebirds and native cavity nesters by erecting, maintaining and monitoring nest boxes. Our Vision To maintain healthy and stable populations of Eastern Bluebirds and other native cavity nesters in the state. Code of Ethics BRAW members are encouraged to follow North American Bluebird Society (NABS) Code of Ethics encourages birders to protect wildlife, the natural environment, and the rights of others through a set of guidelines. Recent debates over posting rare bird locations, baiting, and the general question of harassment caused NABS to update these guidelines and address those concerns. Our History When BRAW was organized in 1986, it was estimated that the Eastern Bluebird population in its historic range had declined by 90% during the preceding 50 years due to changes in agriculture practices, competition from the House (English) Sparrow and European Starling, severe weather in its central and southern winter range, and the loss of nest sites, such as tree cavities and hollow wooden fence posts. BRAW works to bring to light the efforts of Wisconsin citizens who had been helping bluebirds in the past and those who have recently joined their ranks. Since 1994, BRAW has entered monitors’ data into a computer data base and as a result, through computer analysis of the data, it has gained great insights into the complexities of how management practices and box design affect bluebird population dynamics. Through workshops, the Annual Membership meeting, and through publication of research findings in the Wisconsin Bluebird newsletter, BRAW shares successful birding techniques while hopefully avoiding some of the mistakes painfully learned by earlier bluebird enthusiasts. BRAW seeks to expand public knowledge and enthusiasm for the Eastern Bluebird so that a growing number of people will have the desire to aid cavity nesters and have the knowledge about how to best accomplish this in their own communities.

One of the most exciting an rewarding experience of being a member is to take care of a Bluebird Trail. this page contains useful resources related to monitoring a trail. Links to printable trail monitoring forms are available here for recordkeeping. Monitoring A Trail Once your trail or boxes are up and ready, it is important to monitor them. This will allow the bluebirds to thrive in the best possible conditions. Blue birders are urged to monitor all nest boxes under their care on a weekly basis using monitoring forms. Monitoring Forms Form 20S Multiple Nest Box Weekly Field Record Monitor’s Short Form Form 22 Individual Nest Box Weekly Field Record EZ Form The Annual Bird Nesting Survey Summary EZ Form Frequently asked questions Where should you put the nest boxes to avoid predators? Do not put boxes on wooden fence or electrical posts. The cheapest and most convenient mounting system uses 3/4” electrical conduit. • Cut 10’ conduit to 6’-8” lengths. • Flatten 4” at end bury 18” of conduit. • To the remaining 5’ conduit attach two 3/4” clamps and screw to box. • Two 3/4” pieces can be joined with a coupler to make a 6’-8” post. See more… Racoons In the summer of 2012, Leif Marking and assistants videotaped raccoons climbing fence posts covered with PVC tubing. Previously, it was thought that such protected posts not be climbed by them. It was also thought that one detect raccoon predation raids by nesting materials being pulled from boxes. The Marking team found that raccoons remove eggs and pop them into their mouths like we do M & M’s without removing nesting materials. Numerous monitors ask me what causes the loss of eggs with the nest left perfectly intact. We must now suspect that many of these losses are due to raccoons. To prevent raids of your nest boxes by raccoons, two preventive measures are suggested:Use wool or a wire brush to smooth off oxidized PVC and/orSmear car wax paste on the post. House Sparrows House Sparrows are exotic, introduced species from Europe. They have no legal protection from the USFWS in North America. They have a strong, seed crushing beak that easily out-competes the slender/weaker insect-eating beak of other. The best way to prevent these pests from occupying your nest boxes is to keep them away from livestock (especially cattle) or homes with feeders using millet and/or cracked corn as these locations attract large numbers. But these pests can fly up to ½ mile to occupy a box, so considerable habitat is lost nest boxes unless another alternate is used. And the best alternative is a Van Ert trap (VanErt Sparrow traps: 22684 US 69, Leon, Iowa 50144, 641-446-6471, fvanert@grm. net, www.vanerttraps.com (cost is about $10 + S&H) Van Ert are easy to insert and highly effective when used properly. should be set only when the sparrow is building a nest or has already constructed one. Then, all nesting materials should be removed from the box (including eggs). Usually, the male is trapped and that is a good thing because he is the “enticer” of the female. Trapping a female is not as effective as the male will attract another female. Rarely, both are trapped together. Dispose of the sparrow, put a clear, plastic sack (held tight at the bottom) over the nest box. Open the door and the sparrow will fly out and can be penned against the side of the box and disposed of. In 60-75% of the time, only one trapping is necessary to clear up the nest box for protected songbirds. In two years of ALAS studies, almost 100% of boxes with removed sparrows have produced young from other songbirds, mainly bluebirds. The major problem faced by trapping sparrows is how long to leave the traps in place. I use two approaches: Set trap and return after monitoring the rest of my boxes or Set trap and return the next day. By that time, the sparrows are dead, but if you have trapped a swallow or bluebird, they will still be alive and can be released unharmed. My experience is this: “Leaving traps in nest boxes rarely leads to the deaths of accidentally trapped but protected songbirds, if the trap is left no longer than 12 hours”. See also this PDF made by a bluebird lover. Black Flies Black flies are a menace like no other to cavity nesting song-birds. In Wisconsin, blackflies are limited mainly to the south-drift less areas of the state. The counties there have many slow-moving but low-pollution streams that are ideal for of black flies. Female black flies are the real culprit of this insect. Like female mosquitoes, they are attracted by CO2 given off by incubating hens or immobile chicks and bite them for a blood meal. Females are driven off their eggs by the persistent biting of black flies but chicks can’t get away from black flies and are killed by dozens of black fly bites. Anyone who finds a brood of chicks killed by black flies will not soon forget it. But we now have a way to prevent black fly deaths: • Use Permethrin-10 poultry insecticide. • Dilute it to 0.50% concentration and place it into an aspirator bottle such as a “Windex Bottle”. When you find black flies around your nest box (swarms hover like a large fruit fly) use this protocol to prevent the hen from abandoning the nest box and the death of the chicks: • Spray the opening and all cracks on the box, both inside and out • If there are eggs in the nest, put a small, clear jar over the eggs and spray the nest thoroughly • If there are chicks in the nest, make sure they are at least 3 days of age—mist thoroughly (spray does not harm the eyes) The 2nd week: • Spray the hole and cracks on the outside of the box only, again plus the nest if the eggs have not hatched and spray the chicks for the 2nd and final time. • If you recognize that black flies are being attracted to your boxes, you can almost eliminate black fly problems entirely, if you use these techniques. Woodpeckers Woodpeckers can cause great destruction to nest boxes as they use them as roost-sites in fall, winter and early spring. Hairy Woodpeckers occupy boxes the most followed by Downy Woodpeckers. We have tried to keep woodpeckers out of our boxes by placing thin wafers of aluminum or ¼” plastic over the damaged holes. Nothing has worked well as woodpeckers have the striking ability to “chisel” materials used to patch the damage. Heavier metal can be used, but is too costly to be useful for large trails. The only practical solution is to leave the boxes open in the winter to keep woodpeckers out (even then, they sometimes do damage). We use wire to keep the doors open as “good Samaritans” walking past boxes completely open, sometimes close them as an act of good will during the winter. Wires can be unwrapped and boxes closed on March 15 to accommodate early arriving bluebirds. These wires can also be used to keep lids open for a week after the first bluebird has fledged to increase the likelihood that the bluebird will produce a 2nd brood. Another advantage to keeping the boxes open during the winter is that chickadees and House Sparrows do not use the boxes for roost sites during the winter. This approach levels the playing field for bluebirds coming to nest in the early weeks of the season. Nest, Egg & Chick Removal for bluebirds, chickadees, Tree Swallows (1, 2, 3, 4) and House Wrens (4): What are the Procedures approved by USFWS in Dec., 2006" Partial or complete nests w/o eggs: 1st week; 2nd , 3rd weeks no change, then remove; restart week count if more building occurs; if wet, remove, replace with dry, fine grass or pine needles (white pine preferred). Touch eggs each week; if they are warm, they are being incubated; if they then turn cold, they have been abandoned and are dead; to test your judgment, remove a single egg and crack it open. If the egg is viable (has a moving embryo), leave the remaining eggs—but if the embryo does not move (= dead) or the egg is empty, remove cold eggs and nest. It is also possible for dead eggs to be incubated well after they should have hatched (up to four weeks), and are warm to the touch. Leaving eggs in a nest this long simply “robs” the nesting pair of precious time in the season when they could be rebuilding a productive nest. To prevent this problem, estimate the date for the last egg being laid (one egg is laid/day). Add 19 days to that date (14 for incubation; 5 for a delay in incubation) and when the monitoring date hits the 19 days or beyond, remove a single egg and repeat the procedure in #2). Chicks starving/lethargic: foster into nests with chicks of similar age, + or – 2 days [place with slightly younger, if possible]: 85% reared by adoptive parents in a 4-year study by the ALAS in central WI. House Wrens Only: If a partial nest of sticks is in your nest box the 1st week, remove them; the 2nd week, remove them and tape the opening. In two weeks, open the box and repeat. The 2nd taping should be left until the end of the season because no other species can nest in the box in the territory of a wren or you can choose to allow the wren to complete its nesting. If egg cup or eggs are found at any time, you should allow the natural cycle to continue.

It is our hope that this Informational Packet will bring you better understanding about how to succeed in helping this bird “with the sky on its back.” Click to open Information Packet (Photos by Pat Ready) Kent Guidelines for Successful Monitoring of Eastern Bluebird Nest Boxes By Kent D. Hall, Ph. D. Frequently asked questions General3 What are the best Locations for a Bluebird Trail? Location... Location... Location... Ideal sites: • Short, sparse grass with interspersed trees • Cemeteries • Golf courses • Parks • Business park • Bike trails • Rail Road tracks What are the best Perch Sites? • One or more trees (10’ ideal) within 100’ (preferably closer) to the front or to one side of nest box (most hunting starts on a perch and these trees are vital for use as survival perches when chicks first fledge) • Fences (barbed, electric, wooden) • Electrical wires (no more than 30’ high preferred), clothes lines • Boxes should be totally exposed to sun-light from sunrise until noon; thereafter, shading is permissible • Need a territorial forage area of 1-3 acres of predominantly open habitat • Noisy sites okay (interstates, other roadways, railroads, temporary air shows, church picnics) • Roadways with limited traffic can be ideal nest box sites and adults and young chicks are rarely killed by traffic. What are the best Perch Sites? • One or more trees (10’ ideal) within 100’ (preferably closer) to the front or to one side of nest box (most hunting starts on a perch and these trees are vital for use as survival perches when chicks first fledge) • Fences (barbed, electric, wooden) • Electrical wires (no more than 30’ high preferred), clothes lines • Boxes should be totally exposed to sun-light from sunrise until noon; thereafter, shading is permissible • Need a territorial forage area of 1-3 acres of predominantly open habitat • Noisy sites okay (interstates, other roadways, railroads, temporary air shows, church picnics) • Roadways with limited traffic can be ideal nest box sites and adults and young chicks are rarely killed by traffic. How close should the boxes be? • Space no closer than 100-200 yards (1-3 acre territories needed): • encourages Tree Swallow occupation if boxes are placed closer than this. • Pairing reduces bluebird and increases swallow production/box When should you relocate the boxes? Change the nest box position if there has been no bluebird nesting attempt in a season OR Change by the end of the following April (75-90% of nest boxes have been occupied by bluebirds by then) • if no nesting has occurred by the end of April your 2nd nesting season, it is sign that your site is unappealing to bluebirds. • But moving the to better nest sites still gives you a 50:50 chance of occupancy for the season. What are the best Box Styles and Dimensions? Box Style/Dimensions: In “the wild”, bluebirds prefer to occupy old woodpecker holes that are not usually very large or deep • Shallow, narrow boxes work best: • 4-5” below the bottom of the hole as maximum depth • 4 x 4”, 4 x 5” nesting platform (inside dimensions) • No vents or keep vents closed until June 1 to prevent wind chill from killing eggs and/or chicks. The summer of 2012 showed that high temperatures can kill chicks in nest boxes. But cold weather has still proven to be more damaging than heat. Since it is likely that the changing climate assures high summer temperatures in the future, we recommend monitors consider making their boxes “convertible” by dropping side doors in the summer and replacing them at the end of the season. For Peterson Boxes: • Holes can be drilled at the top of one side and a piece of “lathe board” placed over them until June 1. • A single or pair of screws can be used to seal the openings during spring. The main thing to do here is to produce air circulation to prevent heat buildup as in an attic. • On the other hand, in the southwestern part of the state where black flies are a problem, screens should be placed over the openings to prevent ease of black fly entry. • Oval hole small enough to keep out starlings & cowbirds • Don’t use predator guards on box fronts ( • Too thick for bluebirds) or perches on boxes (used by predator birds such as sparrows & kestrels). Instead, use a predator guard on your mounting post or make the mounting post your predator guard (3/4” electrical conduit preferred. See detailed plans.(javascript:void(0)) In which direction should the boxes be? • Keep away from prevailing westerly winds (cools boxes) • Use the same direction for all boxes. • Cornell University has determined that directing the opening of a nest box to the north-east, east or southeast improves the fledging rate of Eastern Bluebirds in northern latitudes. • Apparently, boxes pointed in that direction, heat up more quickly in the mornings in cold weather but do not collect as much heat from a southern exposure in summer. What are the nest boxes recommended by BRAW? BRAW recommends using nest boxes that have proven to be highly attractive to bluebirds. These boxes are: • Shallow (4-5” from bottom of hole to nesting platform) • Narrow (4” x 4” nesting platforms), have oval openings (1 3/8” x 2 ¼”) • Are unvented (vents can be opened after June 1 in areas where black flies are not prevalent). Any box that meets these specifications is recommended by BRAW. Read more…(javascript:void(0))
